Answer:

B. a bowling ball

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation every body attracts another body by an amount of a force that is directly proportional to the product of the two bodies' masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Knowing this then, it becomes clear that the body with the biggest mass will exert the greatest gravitational pull. From this list the ball with the biggest mass will be a bowling ball.
